I think a two-way-authentification is the first, good step to increase the security for account authentification, like wikitech still use it. But it's still a user decision to activate i tor not?

As someone with one of those "high risk" accounts, one time passwords would be more likely to make me drop those permissions. Any administrator has a "high risk" account given the opportunities that they have.

I think we should start looking at alternative authentication systems especially for high risk accounts. There are several variations on the theme of one-time passwords that I think could bd explored.

After reading this [1] I am wondering if Wikimedia should start

What "steps" do you refer to, or is this intentionally vague? Disallowing usernames and logins? Two-step authentication/verification? Something else?
andre
from what i could read and parse: use less of external things like skype and google accounts so that there is only 1 username for everything
The solution to stolen credentials is to combine all credentials so that
a
single credential can control everything?
